We will ship directly to them with Fedex International Priority Service (1 day to Paris). Your appointed brokers will then take charge of the shipment, clear customs for you and organise delivery to your address in France.
Simply go ahead and order as normal on the site and a customer service representative will contact you to organise everything as per the above procedure.
